Why Does a Parent Medicate a Child? An Interview with My Mother

from Mad in America: Rethinking Mental Health · host Mad in America

In this interview, Brooke Siem, who is the author of a memoir on antidepressant withdrawal, May Cause Side Effects, interviews her mother, Dee Barbash, to discuss the circumstances that led to Brooke being prescribed a cocktail of antidepressants at the age of 15. Today, her mother is a therapist who helps her clients taper from psychiatric medications – a profession that she took up after she came to understand the harms that Brooke suffered from having been prescribed these drugs for 15 years. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.
